How to provide required FQDN to ipa-client when system hostname has to be a short hostname
Issue
- Some applications (for example, SAP solutions) require the system hostname to be a short, unqualified, host name. RHEL IdM client installation tool, ipa-client-install, requires the hostname to be a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). RHEL IdM client installation fails when the system hostname is not-FQDN.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 and later.
- ipa-client package installed
